Calves that ache after a long run or a desire for support in the legs during exercise: compression is popular with many female runners.
This Black Friday page features compression garments for women, suitable for training, racing or recovery.
Compression garments gradually squeeze the leg to provide support that many female runners appreciate during and after exercise. They can be worn during training, competitions, or while resting after a session. The effect felt varies from person to person: it’s a matter of personal comfort.
Falke leads this selection, ahead of Bauerfeind. Falke is a brand specializing in technical socks and stockings. Bauerfeind is a brand focused on support and sports orthoses. The Brand filter allows you to view them separately.
Size should be chosen according to calf circumference: a piece that is too loose does not provide the expected support, while a piece that is too tight becomes uncomfortable. Then look at the level of compression indicated on the sheet. For the first time, start with a moderate model, initially worn during training before using it in a race.
Compression appeals to runners who do consecutive sessions and those who travel a lot to run. It remains a matter of personal comfort: the best approach is to compare a few models and keep the one that feels the most comfortable to you.
Compression completes an outfit without replacing it: it combines with shorts, tights, or leggings, and with socks of your choice.
Many female runners tuck them into the running bag for the end of the event or the return journey. Remember to check the height: a piece that is too high can bunch behind the knee, while a piece that is too short leaves an area without support on the calf.
